Pho-to-bomb (verb) [foh-toh-bom] – The act of ruining someone’s photo by appearing in it without their knowledge.

Larry photobombed Dennis’s reunion picture by standing on a stool, taking out his sack, and letting it dangle near Dennis’s ear.

Photobombing has been around for hundreds of years. The first known photobomb took place in the late 5th century when Lord Percival of Port Westenshire, a known prankster and scalawag, decided to don a funny face and spend 6 hours lurking behind an in-progress portrait of King Arthur.

Both Percy and the artist were beheaded.

But not all photobombs have such dire endings. In fact, most of the photobombers in the pictures below were probably NOT killed for their actions.

So you’re free to enjoy the 25 best photobombs of all time with a un-guilty conscience.
